SÕL-CON: The Brown & Black Comix Expo

SÕL-CON brings together Columbus area youth, as well as industry insiders, indie comic creators and exhibitors, for a comic convention unlike any other. In a two-day expo and workshop extravaganza, K-12 youth, Ohio State students, and general public will meet and learn from African American and Latinx creators.

In addition to the grand expo space where you will encounter the most innovative comics by creators of color, you can attend workshops to learn how to create comics, flip-books, Zines, storyboards, and animation.

SÕL-CON is intended as both a celebration of current creative minds and as a means to open doors for youth of color to learn how to express their stories through the comic book storytelling arts. Sõl-Con serves as a forum for the Columbus and Ohio State community to learn from today’s giants in the comic book industry.
